The Wikimedia Summit 2024 was the last of its kind. In the spirit of the Movement Strategy 2030, Wikimedia Deutschland is handing over the responsibility of organising future affiliate gatherings to other movement stakeholders, to design these events in a
more equitable way, with a purpose based on the needs and interests of the affiliates. In this session we invite stakeholders who expressed interest in taking over the responsibility of conceptualising and possibly organising these future events to consult with their peers and discuss the next steps.

Smaller languages communities need to promote themselves online, Wikimedia is a key ally in this journey. How can we better collaborate with local communities ?

More and more educational clips from German public service broadcasters are making their way into Wikipedia, improving hundreds of articles and raking in tens of millions of views. This success story would not have been possible without the work of community project “Wiki Loves Broadcast” which helps the broadcasters to identify suitable content for Creative Commons licensing and is responsible for integrating relevant videos into Wikipedia articles. In this session, Wiki Loves Broadcast and Wikimedia Deutschland showcase their work and invite the international Wikipedia community to join a growing effort to bring publicly funded audiovisual content into Wikipedia.
